New documents released on Tuesday highlight details behind the police investigation into Adam Costello, who was arrested in the June hit-and-run death of Adam King. One witness told NBC2 after Costello hit King, he slowed down and then drove away.

It's been nearly five months since 18-year-old Adam King was hit and killed on Colonial Boulevard.

On Wednesday, his family and friends sat in a courtroom as Adam Costello, the man accused of hitting King and leaving him to die, went before a judge.

"Like the blood ran out of me, I feel it now just seeing him. Nervous," said Tracy Miller, Adam's mom, describing the moment she saw Costello face to face for the first time.

"It's hard to see someone that you know definitely had something to do with what happened that night and your blood rushes, adrenaline rushes and you just have to keep a quiet mouth and be strong and courageous and see how this goes out," said Richard Echeverria, Adam's best friend.

Miller held a sign as a reminder of her son's death. "Just being here for Adam. I miss him."

Costello appointed a new attorney on October 26th and is requesting another case management hearing, saying he needs to time to go through 49 to 51 witnesses and more than 749 pages of discovery. He waived his right to a speedy trial.

"Of course I want it over with, but I want it to be done right, and everybody is doing it right," Miller said.

She said she'll continue to show up at every hearing, no matter how big or small, to make sure Adam's voice is heard.

"Absolutely, absolutely. You just don't kill somebody and run away with your tails between your legs in this town, nope. Got a lot of people fighting for Adam's wasted life," she said.

Now that we're getting into the second half of August, it's the the time of year when we really start to monitor the far eastern Atlantic for budding tropical waves that could potentially develop into tropical storms or hurricanes.
